MoistTech’s IR3000 NIR analyzer is particularly suited to measuring moisture in many bio-fuel applications including:

• woodchip
• wood flake
• wood shavings
• hog fuel
• bagasse
• straw

The MoistTech’s IR3000 is particularly suited to measuring bagasse moisture content. Many sugar mills and co-generation plants have installed the MoistTech’s IR3000 on the fuel feed belt to the boiler as an integral part of boiler optimization.

Online elemental analysis is used extensively in the modern cement plant. Uses include:

• stockpile building and quarry management
• raw mix proportioning

Ideally suited for quarries, mining, recycling, slag processing, cement, brick plants and many other applications. EAB metal detectors:

• detect both ferrous & non-ferrous metals
• ignore magnetite from iron oxide from ore
• can be operated in close proximity to frequency converters
• can be operated near magnets
• can be single or dual probe model
• have a 3 year warranty

Online analyzers are used extensively in the coal industry as well as downstream users of coal, such as power stations and steel plants. Modern coal mines, coal beneficiation plants, materials handling facilities, and power stations incorporate on-belt moisture analyzers, coal ash analyzers and coal elemental analyzers into their operations to provide real time data to achieve operational objectives.

Online elemental analyzers have many uses including:

• Sorting coal
• Blending coal
• Quality control
• Maximizing coal recovery
• Environmental compliance
• Optimizing boiler efficiency

Food grade models of the MoistScan® online microwave moisture sensor re available for use in food processing. These analyzers are fully CIP (clean in place) compliant and are available in various IP ratings. Cabinets, frames and antenna housings are 316 stainless steel grades. The MoistScan® MA-700 in pipe moisture meter is used in the dairy, snack food, and confectionary industries where lean phase pipe conveyance is common. Typical food processing applications include:

• dairy particularly butter, processed cheese and natural cheese
• powders
• flour
• cereals
• snack foods
• breads
• confectionary
• pasta

Cassel Metal Detector Systems are designed to meet the strict demands of the bulk food and packaged food industries monitoring for metal impurities. Cassel metal detectors operate on the inductive measuring principle. A high frequency electromagnetic alternating field is generated. If a metal object passes through the metal detector, the detector experiences a change in the field based on the magnetic and electrical properties of the metal object. All types of metals (i.e. non-ferrous, ferrous and stainless) are detected.  The metal detector is integrated with a conveyor. Metal passing through the metal detector unit will be detected and optional devices can be used to reject the contaminated product. Metal detectors can be integrated with existing production lines or provided with a Cassel conveyor specifically matched to the requirements.

Cassel’s METAL SHARK® metal detectors can be used for quality control and contamination detection in Forestry operations. They reliably detect metal contaminants, warn with light and sound signals or automatically eject the contamination directly. Metal detectors protect your machines and tools as well as the quality of your products.

Moisture Monitoring of Ores and Sinters
RTI’s MoistScan® onbelt moisture analyzer, which employs microwave technology to measure total free moisture, has been used extensively in the iron ore and steel industries for many years.  In iron ore production and handling, the MoistScan® MA-500HDi is used for metallurgical accounting and as an important tool at the port for monitoring of transportable moisture limits (TML’s). In steel making, the MA-500HDi is installed on the sinter blend line to optimize moisture content in the production of sinter pellets.

Elemental Analysis of Ores and Sinters
In recent years the iron ore and steel industries have turned to online elemental analysis using online PGNAA analyzers for metallurgical balance, product specification and blending. The AllScan® elemental analyzer uses state of the art prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) technology to accurately measure the makeup of iron ores, sinters and concentrates at mines, ports, and steel mills.

Cassel’s METAL SHARK® metal detectors can be used in the most diverse areas of the plastics, rubber and chemical industries. They reliably detect metal parts and inclusions, e.g. in films or granulates, and warn with light and sound signals or automatically eject the contamination directly. Metal detectors protect your machines and tools as well as the quality of your products.
